Arsenal are back in Premier League action this evening as they host London rivals Brentford at the Emirates Stadium…

The Gunners have been in blistering form of late and will be looking to continue that against Brentford this evening.

Goalkeeper David Raya is ineligible to play though as he can’t feature against his parent club.

That means Aaron Rasmdale comes back into the side for just his sixth league start of the season.

It’s a familiar back four ahead of Ramsdale as Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes and Jakub Kiwior all start.

Jorginho continues in midfield with Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard joining him in the engine room.

Kai Havertz leads the line once again with Bukayo Saka down the right flank and Leandro Trossard coming in down the left.

Gabriel Martinelli misses out completely and Mikel Arteta has gone with Trossard rather than Gabriel Jesus.

Oleksandr Zinchenko is back on the bench today, joining Karl Hein, Cedric Soares, Thomas Partey, Fabio Vieira, Emile Smith Rowe, Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Jesus.

Brentford go with Mark Flekken between the sticks with a back three ahead of him as ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen, Kristoffer Ajer and Nathan Collins all start.

Mads Roerslev and Keane Lewis-Potter are the wing backs with Christian Norgaard, Frank Onyeka and Vitaly Janelt all starting.

Ivan Toney starts amid links to Arsenal and is joined up top by Yoane Wissa.

Neal Maupay is only on the bench, joining Thomas Strakosha, Mathias Jensen, Sakan Ghoddos, Mikkel Damsgaard, Shandon Baptiste, Yegor Yarmoliuk, Kim Ji-soo and Benjamin Arthur.
